Tasting
Nose
Right from the first sniff, a distinct hint of cold smoke emerges. Behind it are the classic Speyside aromas: forest honey and a basket filled with autumnal fruits, including pears and apples. The intense aroma of light fruits is framed by vanilla and nearly-dried grass, akin to "almost-hay."
Palate
On the palate, this malt makes a strong impression. Surprisingly intense campfire smoke, accompanied by the fruity notes of the familiar fruit basket, with a clear inclination toward dried apples. We also detect a hint of white pepper and a subtle nuttiness. Overall, it offers a beautifully creamy mouthfeel.
Finish
The finish is even more pronounced with nutty characteristics, medium-length, and a slight smokiness, providing a delightful conclusion.
Verdicts
Marcel
82NC presents here a truly wonderful, straightforward, and classic Speyside Single Malt. The fruity and fresh profile is exactly what we love in Bourbon cask maturation. The experience is rounded out by a pleasant, yet not overpowering, smokiness. Carried by a robust 61.6%, this is truly a work of art.

What it is worth
We do not yet hold bottle-level auction results — that sits behind Whisky Hunter’s authenticated feed. What follows is the market for Tormore as a whole, which sets the weather for this bottling without pricing it.
